South African celebrities who bleach their skin have become a topic of discussion, with some openly admitting to using skin-lightening products and others facing allegations and criticism. Here are a few notable figures in this conversation:

Number one is Khanyi Mbau, an actress known for her unapologetic attitude towards her choices. She has been open about her preference for lighter skin and has used skin-bleaching creams to achieve her desired look.

Despite initially expressing frustration with the available bleaching creams, Khanyi seems to have found a product she loves, as she has been seen in videos applying cream to her face and praising a brand called Glutathione Beds for helping her repair and restore her skin.

While she appears to be content with her skin, some of her fans are not thrilled about her beauty routines and have expressed concerns, even asking her to stop.

Number two is Kelly Khumalo, an award-winning musician who has been open about using skin-lightening creams and pearls. She has revealed on Instagram that her favorite skin-lightening product is glutamine.

While there are concerns about the safety of these practices, Kelly seems comfortable with her choices, and ultimately, her comfort is what matters most.

Number three is Sorisha Naidoo, a 45-year-old star of “Real Housewives of Durban.” Sorisha is another South African celebrity who has experimented with skin bleaching, not out of pride but due to criticism from the Indian community for having dark skin.

In this community, lighter skin is generally favored over darker complexions. Having endured enough negative comments, the former Miss India South Africa resorted to using chemicals containing hydroquinone, a common skin-whitening agent.

Unfortunately, the bleaching cream had severe side effects on her skin, including burning, which served as a wake-up call for her to turn her life around. Sorisha’s experience teaches us that harsh comments can damage a person’s self-esteem, leading to drastic measures like skin bleaching or even worse.

Number four is DJ Zinhle, who has faced allegations of skin bleaching. Despite denying these claims, some people remain unconvinced. In 2019, DJ Zinhle participated in the popular 10-year challenge, where people share pictures of themselves from 10 years before alongside their current photos.

According to some on Twitter, her skin appeared lighter, and the only explanation that made sense to them was bleaching. DJ Zinhle quickly clapped back at the critics, and her fans also came to her defense. It seems that DJ Zinhle suggested a truce, and people should drop the bleaching allegations already.

Thando Thabethe is another South African celebrity who has allegedly bleached her skin. She has had to defend herself against these allegations, insisting that her lighter skin is natural.

Thando even shared a picture of herself as a baby to prove that she has always been light-skinned. It’s a reminder that the social media streets can be harsh, and we hope that the doubting Thomases were satisfied with Thando’s evidence.

In conclusion, the issue of skin bleaching among South African celebrities is complex, with varying motivations and outcomes. While some are open and seemingly comfortable with their choices, others face criticism and must defend themselves against allegations.
